Hi Doug:
I was able to copy the Consolas font from my Vista system; I really
don't see the point of requiring VS2005 to be installed. I'm going to
try Consolas for a while; I think I like it.
I should have been more clear; for the Consolas installer to work, you need
VS2005. :)
I have played with the ClearType tuner several times and think I have
gotten the best out of it that I can.
It's limited in what it can do. ClearType does work better on some panels
than others; I used to get occasional red fringing around bold text with a
PVA panel, but I don't notice any artifacts with the S-IPS panel I'm using
now.
DVI did not make any difference that I could discern. As I mentioned to
David Ching, I was never totally happy with the text display on this
computer, even with my old CRT.
I ran 1680x1050 off an ATI 9600 (a lesser card than your 9800) for a couple
of months, and it was fine, for the desktop at least. I'd expect your 9800
to be at least as good, but far all I know, there could be sample
variations that could account for this. Finding both interfaces to be
sub-par would seem to eliminate cabling issues. I guess if you were really
interested, you could take a system with good text display and swap the
cards temporarily.
